If you want to avoid playing against established teams without having established teammates, pay attention to which games and which teams you join.

Yes, while this is true, I know i would personally like to play a game where you don't know what the teams are. Sure, a lot of high ranks probably won't like this, but i bet a ton of low ranks would. It would give you the ability to realize, Hey, i really like these/this guy(s) (or girl), they/he/she plays well and communicate well, perhaps this person would like to play some normal team games with me.

It would give the ability for people to find new partners, which I am always up for.

Well, if it was an option you wouldn't HAVE to play the random team games if you don't want to. It would just be another way to setup the game for people who don't play on established teams. you could even go so far as to fog out the names of the players who have already joined the match, endless possibilities. The teams who play with an established team will still have a place to play, they just might not end up with so many "David vs Goliath" types of matches.

I am only speaking for myself of course, but I really enjoy team games, except so many times I join a team match and end up with 2-3 partners who have never been on a team together playing against a team who has countless matches together...

Thanks for elaborating on my original post guys. Glad some people like the idea.

It would just be an option, not forcing random partners upon people who join team games. That would destroy Tournies and Clans.

When I want to join a team game. I JUST CAN'T find a decent game. Why? It's simple, the masters of the universe mega upper generals from hell are always the first to join and they Always form the better team and surprisingly joining the other team will leave-me with two cooks who know nothing about the game mechanism so it doesn't matter my plan or strategy, it's almost impossible winning any team game one joins.

My plan would be to make ANY public team game shuffle all the players in the moment the game start, so this way things will be a litle more balanced and team game will even be possible. The way things are now is as balanced as a match between a MMA champion against a random paraplegic.

This way only private games will be team games and it fits a little better.

This has been suggested before, and it is sitting somewhere in the archives right now. I do like the suggestion, but not the "ALL PUBLIC" games must be shuffled. If you could have the option to shuffle up the ranks, going in order (Best player on Team 1, second best on Team 2, third best on team 2, etc), then I would fully support this.

I think this is a great option. I love having my set partners for maps and going against other tough teams, but I understand that it would suck not to be part of a team. I used to be in the same boat. I wouldn't even go near a team game. I wanted to try, but was always fearful of what kind of opponent I would get teamed up with against experienced partners.

As a player without regular teammates, I don't want to join a trips or quads game against 3 or 4 majors/brigadiers when I have no clue who will be joining my team. However, I wouldn't mind joining a game with 6/8 players who were then randomly divided into teams. It may also be a new way for people to meet & become teammates later on.

I can't understand why someone would give a "loud NO" to this. It would only be an option for team games; they could still be played as normal. Since no moderator ever commented on this, and it was never "rejected", I thought I'd bring it into discussion again.

+1

That "year-old bump" was 2 years ago. I wouldn't hold my breath.

but your post is perfect for me. I couldn't express my opinion better.

I say add it as 3 more game styles called:

Random DoublesRandom TriplesRandom Quads

You have my support!

Absolutely +1 on this idea and especially this specific recommendation^

Thanks for bringing this to the front chap. I like it too. I would be much more willing to join team games with randoms (and they would be truly random) if I knew that everyone else was in the same position. It's so risky to do it now because you never know when a cook is going to join your team and F everything up. Now everyone shares that risk.

An extra option to tick where players join a game and teams are assigned randomly once full

As the concise description implys, a game is made either 4, 6 or 8 players and it is either dubs, trips or quads. Although players join an open field and the teams are formed randomly once the game starts. So no one knows who they will play with on their side untill it starts.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:It will allow people to play more interesting team games. Either with people they know or dont. It will spice up games with friends and also aid medal hunting.

Its also a popular tournament format "random team mates". So that shows there is demand for the style of paly.

Although im not a computer wizard im guessing its not going to be the hardest of things to implement, so could be good as a cheekly little offering to keep people feeling loved.
